Laparoscopic Management of Rectus Sheath Hematomas
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction: Rectus sheath hematomas can result from shearing of rectus muscle fibers or injury to the inferior epigastric vessels, which is the most common vascular injury to occur at the time of laparoscopic surgery. Case Description: We describe a case of a rectus sheath hematoma that was diagnosed 5 days after operative laparoscopy. We review the clinical presentation, diagnostic criteria, and therapeutic options of managing rectus sheath hematomas, and we describe the innovative use of laparoscopy for hematoma drainage after failed conservative management. Discussion: Rectus sheath hematomas that fail conservative management can be effectively drained laparoscopically. This minimally invasive approach provides rapid symptom relief and patient recovery.

Expanding refractory rectus sheath hematoma: a therapeutic dilemma.
Rectus sheath hematoma is an uncommon but well-described complication of a tussive paroxysm. It is an accumulation of blood within the sheath of the rectus abdominis secondary to disruption of the epigastric vessels or the rectus muscle and is often misdiagnosed as acute abdomen. Increases in the number of elderly patients and the use of therapeutic anticoagulation may increase ...

Port site wound infection, abdominal wall hematoma and intraabdominal abscess formation has been reported after laparoscopic appendicectomy. We describe here a rectus sheath abscess which occurred three weeks after the laparoscopic appendicectomy. It was most likely the result of secondary infection of the rectus sheath hematoma due to bleeding into the rectus sheath from damage to the inferior...

Background Pain associated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy is most severe during the first 24 h and the port sites are the most painful. Recent multimodal approaches target incisional pain instead of visceral pain which has led to the emergence of abdominal fascial plane blocks. This study embraces a novel combination of two independently effective fascial plane blocks, namely rectus sheath b...

Muscle hematomas are rare complications in dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). We report a case of 58-year-old-female admitted with dengue fever who developed spontaneous rectus sheath hematoma complicating DHF. She presented with progressive thrombocytopenia with platelet count reaching 13000/μL at its lowest point. There was evidence of plasma leakage and persistent cough during the course of ill...
